Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 269

Valentina was confused. “Why ask that? Isn’t Auntie going to our maternal great–grandfather’s birthday celebration tomorrow?”

Brielle couldn’t bear to watch. She looked away and exchanged a glance with her husband.

Xavier’s relationship with Aveline was so bad he had to use his niece to communicate with his own wife.

Xavier told Valentina, “Don’t worry about why, just ask her.”

So Valentina did as she was told and sent the message.

When Aveline saw it, a sarcastic smile touched her lips. She knew Xavier must have told Valentina to send it.

[You should eat your dinner and put your phone away. Auntie is eating too, so we’ll talk later.]

When Xavier saw the reply, he chuckled and said to Brielle, “She’s obviously not coming. You should try to persuade her.”

Brielle sighed. “I’m afraid it won’t do any good even if I’m the one to persuade her.

Rupert will probably have to talk to her himself.”

Xavier said flatly, “The Patriarch said he’d talk to her himself, but I don’t know if he was just saying it because he’s mad at me, or if he actually will.”

“You should try persuading her first.”

“Alright, I will. I’ll contact Aveline after dinner.”

After dinner, Aveline was taking a walk with Jasmine and Julian in the hotel’s back garden.

The phone in her purse started ringing, and she took it out to look.

A call from Rupert.

Aveline froze. Jasmine leaned over to look and quickly nudged her, “Aren’t you going to answer? It’s Rupert!”

A call from Rupert had to be answered, of course, so Aveline came to her senses and answered,

“Hello. Rupert.”

“Mm. Aveline, have you had dinner yet?”

“I just finished. Did you need something?”

“Aveline, you can probably guess why I’m calling.

I just got off the phone with Collin.”

Aveline was surprised; she hadn’t expected Rupert to have already called her grandfather.

It seemed Rupert had talked to her maternal grandparents before trying to persuade her, and she didn’t know if they had been convinced.

Aveline immediately felt a bit nervous and uneasy.

Rupert continued, “Christopher and Mr. Li can’t make it tomorrow night, which is a shame, but you have to come.”

“I’m getting old, weaker every year. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to have another birthday banquet next year. So, child, you must come.”

“Next month is your grandmother’s birthday, and we’ll have a big celebration for her. When it’s your grandfather’s turn, we’ll do the same.”

Aveline frowned slightly. She thought Rupert was being very cunning, using his age and saying he was getting weaker every year. If she refused, she would inevitably seem cold and heartless.

She sighed to herself. “Patriarch, I’ll attend your birthday celebration as the architect for the Mount Ardwood theme park.”

Rupert was silent for a moment, then said, “You don’t want to announce that you and Xavier are married?”

“Mmm, that’s right.

We’re getting a divorce, so there’s no need to make it public. It would just cause a lot of gossip.”

Rupert was silent again for a moment. “A divorce… I don’t approve. After the birthday banquet, I’ll have a good talk with your maternal grandparents.”

Aveline pressed her lips together. She felt it was too complicated to explain over the phone, and with his birthday celebration coming up, there was no need to upset the old man right now.
